My guess is : Leg 9 and 10 will have one a NEL and one a Double U-Turn. We just don't know which is which.

I think this leg has the U-Turn, Joey/Meghan eliminated, then Caroline/Jennifer last in an NEL. It could also be the opposite.

Using DrRox info about the brothers location, here's a comparison of Park Inn and the TV Tower from the Prenzlauer Allee point of view:

Actually no info from me. I just used your identification from upthread (post 34). In the screen caps with Max and Katie, you can see the Park Inn but not the TV Tower and I agree with your locations for them. They are right under the TV Tower.

But with Bates and Anthony.......you identified both the Park Inn and the TV Tower, with the Park Inn in the foreground and the TV Tower in the background. That only leaves one place for Bates and Anthony......far east of the Park Inn.

What if there was a U-Turn? The bungee base jump and carrying letters were both done by Max and Katie, so it's possible.

Fixed that for you. There is no evidence of a bungee cord, so no bungee jump. Also a bungee jump would be horrendously dangerous right next to a building. It is a contolled base jump.

Now as to teams doing both the jump and letters. It could be a W-Turn........but they also could have just switched from letters to jumping, if letters task was to hard.

i don't think that there's gonna be a W-Turn on this leg. CBS was always exposed the U-Turn in the preview, right? (Like U-Turn is a really hell-ish thing on the race )I think it's likely to be a NEL

I agree.

My gut is telling me that this is a NEL. Two legs in UK are both ELs.And there'll be no more U-TURN to be encountered (hint,hint, TAR 20 had a double U-TURN appearing only in 1 leg)Besides, a U-TURN appears in Leg 10, isn't it like too late for seasons in nowadays?

Although if there's a Double U-TURN, and Max&Katie is confirmed to be U-TURN-ed, the only possible scenario would be > Mona&Beth U-TURN Max&Katie> Max&Katie U-TURN Joey&Meghan(>> Caroline&Jennifer;Anthony&Bates;Max&Katie are not u-turning each other, neither will Mona&Beth and Joey&Meghan.)(>> Joey&Meghan already used their U-TURN power in Vietnam, so they can't U-TURN anymore. The only team left that would U-TURN Max&Katie is Mona&Beth)

hence, this leg would be an obvious "Elimination Leg", which everyone speculates to be the end of Joey&Meghan.

Although if there's a Double U-TURN, and Max&Katie is confirmed to be U-TURN-ed, the only possible scenario would be> Mona&Beth U-TURN Max&Katie> Max&Katie U-TURN Joey&Meghan(>> Caroline&Jennifer;Anthony&Bates;Max&Katie are not u-turning each other, neither will Mona&Beth and Joey&Meghan.)(>> Joey&Meghan already used their U-TURN power in Vietnam, so they can't U-TURN anymore. The only team left that would U-TURN Max&Katie is Mona&Beth)[/size]

i didn't know that a team only has one chance to use the U-turn poor Joey & Meghan. If the rest of the teams are smart, they should U-Turn the strongest team, which is the hockey brothers. this is Amazing Race, not Amazing friends (Katie & Rachel quotes, S17)

They might, unless the hockey brothers are ahead, which is probably the case.

Admittedly totally off topic, but I had to comment that there is a second living schnauzer in my family these days -- which had belonged to my late sister, and has been with my niece since my sister passed 8 years ago. This schnauzer's formal name is Rosenkranz, and is called Rose. Rose is 13 years old this spring.(We like having formal names from which an everyday name is derived.)

I am pretty sure Joey and meghan dont get eliminated in Berlin, in fact I have a feeling they might do very well in the leg. In joeys last 2 videos he has mentioned how much he loved Berlin and how it was one of his favourite cities etc etc all very positive and it gives me the impression that its not a place he has bad memories in..

(first time poster, long time reader)Does anybody else have the feeling this could be a Non-elimination leg? Both legs, 11 and 12, air on the same day (May 5th), with leg 9 being this Sunday and leg 10 being next Sunday. If you do the math, 3 teams will be in leg 12, 4 teams in leg 11, and 5 teams in leg 10, which is in Scotland. So, wouldn't it make sense if Berlin was an NEL and the next team eliminated was in Scotland? Or the next NEL is in Scotland rather than Berlin, meaning a team will be eliminated in Germany.

Also, can anyone explain to me how the decoys work in the final cities? For example, when do they assume they'll need to start having decoys, and how many teams do they use as decoys? Like will the next two teams eliminated be decoys in the finale? ...just curious if anybody knows.

Welcome to RFF...!!! i have the same feeling that Germany could be a Non-elimination leg. but still, we don't have any proofs

Usually the Final 6 or so are decoys, (during TAR 16, a friend of mine spotted Steve & Allie racing in the Singapore leg), they race the course with the other teams to try to fool those who like to spoil.
